nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15432 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 4:35 pm I shared earlier that I'm helping a friend pro-bono to catalog the inheritance from her father ... a huge pile of coins all mixed up ... USA and World. Every now and then I have been checking in with the experts in the various forums to validate my opinions ... Today's subject is an 1864 2 Cent piece, Large Moto. I grade XF40 with a retail value of $25 and a dealer 'sell to' value of $15. In hand the coin is a lovely chocolate brown with no obvious problems. Thoughts?

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/22/2012 11:50 pm I'd price it selling one at $42.00 like this, more than a few have RPD's that I collect, even minor, I'd buy this coin all day long at $15! Also check to see if there is any sign of the ultra rare (tough to see in less than MS) FS-901 reverse clash with Indian Head cent. I spy a full serif on the D of united so maybe...

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15432 Posts	Posted 12/23/2012 12:26 pm Thanks to everyone for your input. No sign (that I can see) of a reverse die clash. I will catalog this one for her at $25 expected price selling to a dealer. Appreciate your help. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
